Le nozze di Figaro

With Le nozze di Figaro, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed a tragicomic classic that has been a favourite with audiences ever since it premiered in 1786. Mozart and his librettist Da Ponte switch effortlessly between light-hearted intrigue and existential questions. Kirill Serebrennikov’s stage direction brings the opera’s social criticism into sharp focus, giving it contemporary relevance.

The opera unfolds over the course of one whirlwind day. Figaro and Susanna are preparing for their wedding, but their employer, Count Almaviva, has his eye on Susanna. Meanwhile, his wife, the Countess, finds herself courted by the young Cherubino.

With an impressive cast, including Olga Kulchynska, Björn Bürger, and Emily Pogorelc, this promises to be a dazzling production, making its Amsterdam stage debut.
